I can't say I am a fan of upgrading just fluid as it will allow this situation to develop. If you run stock pads better to have the fluid start to fade before you damage other components. You should get the rotors skimmed or replace them as well.

Use some ceramic brake grease, temps should be good to 1000 or so. Replace pads and shields, stainless steel lines, maybe rotors and you should be fine unless you see fluid on the Pistons.
Thanks for the advice Pparana. Agreed on all points.
